link[edit]

The link from the table at the bottom from "Ottoman Caliphs" to "Ottoman Sultans" is wrong; from the article, Abdul Mejid was Caliph of Islam, but not Sultan of the Turks. We need a separate line for Caliphs.--iFaqeer 22:55, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)

Discrepancy[edit]

There seems to be a discrepancy with the parentage of Durruhsehvar. An extremely reputable source: http://www.4dw.net/royalark/India/hyder11.htm states that she was "the only daughter of H.I.M. Sultan Abdu'l-Majid Khan II, Caliph of the Faithful, by his third wife H.H. Atiya Mihisti, 3rd Kadin Effendi," - i.e. not from Hair un-nisa kadin Effendi. G.-M. Cupertino 19:12, December 5, 2008

Caliph and Sultan[edit]

What was the relationship between the positions of Caliph and Sultan? The article seems to imply that Caliph was the highest position in the Ottoman Empire, since he was "Head of the Ottoman Imperial House." Is this true? The article as it stands now is not clear.Sylvain1972 (talk) 14:28, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Caliph is a religious title. Sultan was the highest secular/political title. --Againme (talk) 05:47, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Many (most? all?) Ottoman Sultans were also the caliph. My understanding is the position was fused. The Sultanate collapsed after WWI, but the caliphate struggled on for a couple more years (29 June 2014) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.80.84.247 (talk) 01:15, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Brittannica 1911[edit]

How does that version of the encyclopedia know what came after 1911? Or am I saying something stupid? 94.211.60.77 (talk) 17:24, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

his beard?[edit]

"It is said that his impressive beard was a source of great personal pride."

What is that doing in the section about him as an artist?--23.119.205.88 (talk) 22:44, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not a general[edit]

He was given the honorary title of general. He was not a soldier. Accordingly the statement that "Abdülmecid was given the title of General in the Ottoman Army, but did not in fact have strong military inclinations, and his more significant role was as Chairman of the Ottoman Artists' Society" is misleading. He was not a general who neglected his duties, he had none. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Royalcourtier (talk • contribs) 20:45, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It has links, so it's a start-class. However, they are only one of the 4 requirements for B-class (others are picture, one aspect completely covered, and multiple subheadings). Green caterpillar 20:10, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Death of his son[edit]

Why Şehzade Ömer Faruk has as year of death 1969/1971? Did he die twice? --Manfariel (talk) 01:32, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Abdulmejid II[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Abdulmejid II's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "adra":

From Şehsuvar Hanım: Adra, Jamil (2005). Genealogy of the Imperial Ottoman Family 2005. pp. 37-38.
From Mehisti Hanım: Adra, Jamil (2005). Genealogy of the Imperial Ottoman Family 2005. pp. 38.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 15:29, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Description[edit]

Hello, anyone hanging around to take a look at the description of the file? Caption reads: [[:File:Halife Abdülmecid Efendi ve kızı Dürrüşehvar Sultan.jpg|Abdulmejid II and Dürrüşehvar in the Promenade des Anglais, Nice, France. Wondering if that should be at, or maybe on Promenade des Anglais. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 11:59, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
